Children seldom misquote. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said- Author Unknown
"Come on you let's get you to bed" Harry said to his thirteen month old son as he picked him up off the floor and pressed a kiss onto his cheek "It's getting late"
Darius only nodded slightly to his father then lay his head on Harry's shoulder and placed his thumb in his mouth. Harry had put Darius' older twin brothers to bed about half an hour before hand and he was confident that they were asleep already. He walked up stairs and into Darius' bedroom but a breeze caught the door and it slammed loudly, the noise vibrating through the house.
"Shit" Harry hissed, hoping it hadn't woken the twins up and Darius looked up at him and smiled.
"Shit" he copied and Harry just stared in disbelief at his son.
"Oh cra..um…your mother is going to kill me" Harry told his son who, even though he didn't understand his father properly, just kept on giggling.
"Mummy" he laughed and clapped his hands.
"Please don't repeat that" Harry muttered as he placed the young boy on the floor and heard the front door open and close indicating that Nikki had returned home. Harry then walked out of Darius' room and checked on Edward and Graham but they were still fast asleep, sighing to himself Harry exited their room and met Nikki in the hallway.
"Hello" Nikki whispered and kissed Harry "Are they asleep?"
Harry nodded but knew Nikki would want to say goodnight to their boys anyway. He let her do this and went back to their other son who was sitting on the floor of his bedroom looking tired.
"Mummy's here now" he told him "You better not drop me in it"
"Mummy" Darius shouted and held his arms out for Nikki as she walked into the room "Mama hug"
Nikki grinned at her youngest son and lifted him from Harry's arms and held him on her hip, she placed a kiss onto his cheek and he lay his head on her shoulder.
"Have they been good?"
"Like little angels" Harry replied "Well they are my children of course"
"Yes that's what I was worried about" Nikki laughed and Harry pouted and leant over to give her another kiss and placed his hand on her seven month stomach.
"How's our little girl?" Harry asked and Nikki rolled her eyes and shifted Darius into a more comfortable position and was about to reply when Darius interrupted.
"Shit"
Nikki froze for a second and looked down at her son who looked back at her innocently. Harry closed his eyes and sighed loudly, wondering what he had done to make fate angry at him. Opening his eyes he saw Nikki staring angrily at him.
"Where did he learn that?" she demanded and reached out to slap Harry on the arm "and don't lie to me I know it was you"
"Why did you ask then?" Harry enquired, realising to late that that wasn't the best thing to say to a pregnant woman who had just heard her young son swear.
"Don't you bloo…" she glanced at Darius then back at Harry and dropped her voice to a whisper "Don't you bloody get smart arsed with me Harry Cunningham"
"Bwoody smart awsed" came a small voice from Nikki's arms and Nikki couldn't help but groan in frustration.
"No baby you cant say things like that"
"He wont understand you Nikki he's only thirteen months old" Harry told his wife who glared at him
"You started it and don't insult our son's intelligence" she hissed and handed Darius to him "I'm tired I'm going to bed I'll see you in the morning"
She then stormed out of the room leaving Harry and Darius alone. Harry looked down at his son who yawned.
"Don't ever get on the wrong side of a pregnant woman" he told him before he started to get him ready for bed.
I remember my cousin doing something like this..I can't remember what he said but it wasn't something he was meant to. lol! Poor Harry and his slip of the tongue.
